How I Got My Nickname (By Ethan Li)

  This is an article about the toy that got me my nickname. The process was very cute and funny. The toy was shaped like a caterpillar. There was a song that it played that I really liked. This all happened when I was a baby.

  The caterpillar toy is divided into 5 sections; labeled n each fifth of the toy, are the numbers 1-5, the contraption is also multicolored. If you press a section, it will play a song about that number of some sort of critter(s). It also has a green-and-white striped handle at the top. Mom says I began to like this toy when I was only a month old.

  If you press the third section that has “3”, it will sing a song like “three little bumble bees full of fun”. I grew very attracted to pressing the “3”. When my parents found this out, there was an uproar. They suddenly turned into “beekeepers”. Dad started calling me “beebee”, which has hence stuck as my nickname. The Bee shirt I wore today could have been bought from this finding. Mom also bought a necklace, bracelet and ring with a little bee on it.

  This toy is a very fun toy to play with from a baby’s point of view. So, if you are a mom with 1-month old baby, this could be the toy for him/her. Who knows if he/she might earn a nickname from a popular song?
